Everyone was silent for a long time, and after careful consideration, it suddenly dawned on them that they had their own gains.

"But it's our narrow-mindedness, far less far-reaching than the old man."

"This old man's realm is so high that it is really admirable."

"Great goodness! The old man was also admonishing General Zeng not to be arrogant about victory. ”

......

After a long time, the venue was quiet again, and everyone wanted to see what Zheng Xue said.

Zheng Xuexuan smiled and said solemnly: "I think most of you are young and naïve, and you still have little experience in life, this is a truth that the old man taught you. General Zeng looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, but the old man looked at the hearts of the people. In the future, you may wish to learn from the old man. ”

Everyone nodded yes, Rao is Xu Ziling, and they also felt that what the old man said was very reasonable, and there was a way: friendship is easy to have, but friendship is rare.

Zheng Xuezhen felt that the time was almost up, and was about to start telling the next story, when suddenly a scholar came from behind the stage and said a few words to him.

So Zheng Xuexue said loudly: "I'm sorry everyone, the old man has some personal matters to deal with." You might as well watch the vaudeville show first, and then tell you a good story another day. ”

Ignoring everyone's discussions, the old man left the stage directly with the scholar.

Seeing the appearance of the scholar, Xu Ziling was slightly stunned, but he was attracted by the person who came from the door again. Two men came to the door, dressed in wide linen clothes, so that people could not see their figures, and with hats on their heads, they walked into the crowd and sat down.

At this moment, another person came up from the stage, and put down two bird cages, and inside were two parrots. The man put down the cage and left.

Before everyone could coax, they heard two sharp and crisp voices say, "Please appreciate ventriloquism." It was the two parrots talking.

The parrot fell, and a white cloth was pulled up behind the stage, and the figure under the cloth shook a few times. The rooster crows, followed by the sound of the gong, the whirring of the wind in the morning, and the sound of birds playing in the branches...... Behind the white cloth, various sounds continued to come out, slowly outlining the complex mixing of a small courtyard in the early morning.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away......"

A few sounds like a child's endorsement sounded, and the parrot was reciting the three-character scripture.

The audience was amazed. Many people know that it is ventriloquism, but they have never seen a parrot perform with ventriloquism, and they can listen to it. The parrot will also chirp a few times at the right time, making the world outlined by the man behind the white cloth more concrete.

Everyone was attracted by ventriloquism, but Xu Ziling was very uncomfortable, because the purse on the waist of the brother on the left was bulging, which was too tempting. But he had just seen two strange men enter the fence, and he could not see them anymore, and he could not be sure whether they were catching fast in the evening, or whether they were watching him in secret.

Ming Xia on the right noticed Xu Ziling's abnormality, reached out and gently twisted his head, which kept looking to the left.

The cool temperature on Ming Xiayu's hand made Xu Ziling sober up a little, looked at her, and squeezed out an ugly smile.

"Ziling, ventriloquism is boring, let's go." Ming Xia whispered.

Xu Ziling could see that Ming Xia said it deliberately, but he still nodded, because he couldn't help it anymore, as if there were thousands of ants crawling on his heart.

Finding that his face was getting more and more ugly, Ming Xia hurriedly got up and wanted to take him away. saw him wave his sleeve to the left before following her away.

After getting out of the hook bar, Ming Xia smiled bitterly: "Ziling, why don't we go back, that Gu poison in you is too terrifying." ”

Xu Ziling nodded thoughtfully, if he hadn't come out with Ming Xia this time, he wouldn't have known that the influence of the Gu poison on him had reached the point of delirium.

A few days ago, Ming Xia was afraid of causing trouble, so he stayed in the Lin Mansion and lived in a simple house, and he came out alone at night. Stealing people's property is all done at hand, and it feels as ordinary as eating and drinking. It wasn't until Fang Cai Mingxia stopped his actions that he really felt the control of Gu Poison over him. That kind of desire that comes from the soul, his consciousness is simply not able to compete with it.

Less than an hour after the two came out, they began to go home.

Along the way, he walked through the streets and alleys, and when he walked to a secluded alley, he found that there was some movement behind him, Xu Ziling stopped, turned around and said, "Come out." ”

I saw two people walking out of the corner, wearing a linen coat and a hat, which were the two people in the previous hook bar, and at this time I saw the faces clearly, it was Zhang Shan and Li Si.

Seeing that Xu Ziling stopped, Li Si said loudly: "Brother Xu, no wonder my brother." Your hands and feet are too unclean, and you dare to do it knowing that my brothers are here. ”

After Xu Ziling took both hands, he gestured, signaled Ming Xia to leave quickly, and said: "The so-called catch the traitor and see the double, catch the thief and see the dirty, the two officials have no evidence, don't wronged the good people." ”

As soon as Ming Xia took the opportunity to take a few steps, Li Si had already arrived behind her and said, "Please also ask the girl to cooperate with the work I am waiting for, and don't leave for the time being." ”

Ming Xia heard the sound that was close at hand, so she had to stop.

Xu Zi didn't see how Li Si got behind him just now, so he temporarily suppressed the shock in his heart, directly pulled out Chixiao, and swept towards Li Si, who was facing away from him.

Li Si took a step forward, easily dodged the sword, and turned around: "San'er, look at this girl, I'll fight with Brother Xu." ”

But seeing Xu Ziling's powerful second sword coming, Li Si pulled out his sword and stopped it lightly. At the same time, Zhang San, who heard Li Si's words, ran to Mingxia's side to prevent her from escaping.

Li Si saw the pale red light emitted from Xu Ziling's sword, and was a little surprised: "Isn't it a Taoist magic sword?" He was able to induce true qi on his own. ”

Xu Ziling didn't reply, and handed out a sword again.

In the current situation, he can only defeat the catcher in front of him before he can take Ming Xia away.

Li Si resisted with a knife again, but was shocked and took a few steps back. Knowing that this young man's skills were also extraordinary, Li Si put away his contempt and began to deal with him.

Xu Ziling took out a few more swords, and found that Li Si was no longer resisting, and kept dodging and moving, trying to consume his strength.

Xu Ziling was so anxious that he suddenly moved up, and instantly approached Li Si, and the vertical style of the Juque Four Styles was split down.

Li Si couldn't avoid it, and hurriedly held on to the back of the knife to catch the sword.

In an instant, a huge force struck, and the qi in the knife was broken, Li Si knew that he could no longer resist, so he fell backwards, and when he was close to the ground, he kicked Xu Ziling in the abdomen, and with a kick, he flew out diagonally backwards. Xu Ziling slashed his sword on the stone slab on the ground, and the bluestone longboard cracked into several pieces.

Xu Ziling never expected him to dodge his violent sword in such a way, and his mood was a little low for a while. This fast catching is no worse than him.

He knew too few swordsmanship, and the Juque Four Styles were not suitable for dealing with such flexible opponents, so he collected the Chixiao Sword and prepared to deal with Li Si with his fists.

"Brother Xu, can I tell you the reason for stealing property, seeing that you are not an ordinary martial artist, how can you do this, if you are short of money, you can steal those high-ranking officials and nobles, why embarrass the common people?" Li Si suddenly asked.

Xu Ziling didn't speak, leaned over to him with his legs shrunk, and his fists came out.

Li Si jumped straight to the right, dodged Xu Ziling's fists, and turned back to slash at the waist. Xu Ziling dodged the knife from the horizontal slash sideways, and then punched again, and the fist rushed towards Li Si with a strong wind. Compared with swords, the advantage of boxing is that it can be retracted and released freely, and the moves are extremely fast.

Li Si put away his knife and stopped the fist, but he was still hit in the chest by a small amount of energy. He wiped the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and said in surprise: "Flick your legs and shrink to the ground!" Guanzhong Red Fist! You are a disciple of Zhou Dong! ”

There were already some onlookers on the street, Xu Ziling didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he hurriedly fisted him again.

Li Si didn't want him to get his wish, and continued to only defend and not attack to contain him. However, he underestimated the domineering of boxing close-to-hand combat, and was bombarded by the fist several times, and secretly complained bitterly.

Zhang Shan saw that Li Si was down, and he couldn't care too much, so he rushed up directly and attacked Xu Ziling with Li Si. Zhang Shan's fist technique was also used, and as soon as he joined the battlefield, Xu Ziling's pressure instantly increased dramatically.

Ming Xia took the opportunity to run into the crowd and ran towards Lin Mansion, wanting to find Lin Chong for help. The officers and soldiers patrolling the streets also noticed the movement in the alley here and began to rush over.

Xu Ziling was one against two, although he did not fall behind, he had no time to fight back, so he had to resist back and forth.

Seeing the movement of the officers and soldiers, the two were not in a hurry, but they just bit him to the death and did not let him escape.

Just wait for the officers and soldiers to come and work together to arrest him.

At this time, the noise sounded in all directions, Xu Ziling guessed the intention of the two, but the officers and soldiers had already surrounded them, and the leader of the team saw Li Si and called "Brother Li".

Li Si replied: "Niu Dutou came just in time, and took this kid together." He is the thief who robs the streets of Hexing every day. ”

Twenty or thirty officers and soldiers came, all of whom were in armor, and after listening to Li Si's words, they surrounded Xu Ziling.

Niu Dutou is also a tiger's back and bear's waist, and his head is half a foot bigger than Zhang Shan, at this time, holding an eyebrow knife, he walked towards Xu Ziling with a fierce momentum, and found the opportunity to slash down.

Xu Ziling, who was restrained by Li and Zhang, saw the reflected knife light, and hurriedly turned around to dodge, and at the same time revealed a flaw while dodging, Zhang Shan hammered him on the back with a punch, until he vomited blood and rolled out.

At this time, the soldiers also surrounded him, saw Xu Ziling lying on the ground, and stepped forward to catch him.

Suddenly, a red light swept in, forcing them to take a step back. Seeing his appearance of vomiting blood and qi deficiency, everyone thought that he was already at the end of the crossbow, and slowly closed up again.

But he saw the young man rise from the ground and leap a foot high. After that, he did not fall but rose, volleying into the air, stepping on the sword glowing with red light under his feet.

Seeing that everyone was stunned and watched the young man leave in style, Li Si shouted: "Quick! Go to the Lin Mansion, and his stolen goods should still be in the Lin Mansion. ”

Everyone woke up and began to run towards the nearby Lin Mansion.

And Ming Xia had already arrived at the Lin Mansion at this time, and saw Yue'er who was holding a shovel in the yard and didn't know what she was doing, and said urgently: "Yue'er, you hurry up and call Brother Lin and tell him that Ziling has an accident." ”

The maid didn't know why, nodded blankly, put down the shovel and ran towards Lin Chong's room. Ming Xia hurriedly ran back to Xu Ziling's room, trying to hide the money bag he had stolen.

Soon, Ming Xia entered Xu Ziling's room, leaned over to check the bottom of his bed, but found that there was nothing, she was anxious and annoyed, and rummaged through other places, but still found nothing.

Eager and dense footsteps suddenly sounded outside, knowing that the official army had surrounded the Lin Mansion, Ming Xia hurriedly walked out of Xu Ziling's room and walked towards the courtyard.
